Rethinking Care for Medicaid's Highest-Need, Highest-Cost Populations
Social determinants account for 80% of health outcomes, which means that the majority of our health care costs can be attributed to non-clinical factors.
Addressing the social determinants is a smart business decision that can significantly decrease costs and utilization.

“The great paradox of American health care, according to
Elizabeth Bradley and Lauren Taylor, is that although
American per-capita spending on health far exceeds that of
any other country on earth, the results achieved fall well short
of other nations that spend much less. This includes such
basic measures as life expectancy, maternal and infant
mortality, and infant birth weight, for example. “
“Why is this important? As Bradley and Taylor convincingly
show in this thought-provoking and well-written book, ignoring
the economic and social circumstances that result in poor
health makes treating the resulting health problems much
more expensive. It also shifts the burden of addressing these
problems to a health care system which simply isn’t able to
address them effectively.”

MRT Supportive Housing
• Medicaid Redesign Investment: $641 Million over 7 years.
• Funding is targeted to high-cost Medicaid members.
• MRT Supportive Housing investment targets capital construction, rental subsidies and supports, and operating dollars.
• Outcomes, measures, research and evaluation are key components.

Coler-Goldwater
Due to the transition of patients from the now closed long-term care facilities on Roosevelt Island, there was a strong need for independent housing, located close by to the Metropolitan Hospital, that would facilitate independent living with access to supportive services.
Medicaid Redesign Team Supportive Housing Initiative
• Metro East 99th Street was the first Medicaid Redesign (MRT) project to close in New York.
• It is also the first 100% affordable and 100% fully handicapped accessible project in the country.
• The project was designed for low-income disabled non-elderly and elderly persons who are chronically disabled and may require some support services available to live independently.
• 176 units include a mix of studios and one bedroom apartments
• Communal space, including a community room, resident lounges, and outdoor garden community space, space for adult social day or related programs, and amenities to make daily living and aging in place easier for the non-elderly, disabled and senior population.

From Housing to all Social Determinants• Medicaid (state only) invested in housing for
over 5 years for high-cost Medicaid members.
• With the move to Value Based Payment, OHIP decided to create a bureau to address the social determinants of health, including housing.
• Goal: To engage all CBOs in SDH work and to foster collaborations with CBOs in the health care sector.

Value Based Payment is the Future
Old world:
- FFS
- Individual provider was anchor for
financing and quality measurement
- Volume over Value
New world:
- VBP arrangements
- Integrated care services for
patients are anchor for
financing and quality measurement
- Value over Volume
DSRIP:Restructuring
effort to prepare
for future success
in changing
environment
By DSRIP Year 5 (2020), all MCOs must employ VBP systems that reward value over volume for at least 80 % of their provider payments.
Standard: Implementation of SDH Intervention
“To stimulate VBP contractors to venture into this crucial domain, VBP contractors in Level 2 or Level 3 agreements will be required, as a statewide standard, to implement at least one social determinant of health intervention. Provider/provider networks in VBP Level 3 arrangements are expected to solely take on the responsibilities and risk.” (VBP Roadmap, p. 41)
Description:VBP contractors in Level 2 or 3 arrangement must implement at least one social determinant of health intervention.
Guideline: SDH Intervention Selection
“The contractors will have the flexibility to decide on the type of intervention (from size to level of investment) that they implement…The guidelines recommend that selection be based on information including (but not limited to): SDH screening of individual members, member health goals, impact of SDH on their health outcomes, as well as an assessment of community needs and resources.” (VBP Roadmap, p. 42)
Description:VBP contractors may decide on their own SDH intervention. Interventions should be measurable and able to be tracked and reported to the State. SDH Interventions must align with the five key areas of SDH outlined in the SDH Intervention Menu Tool, which includes:
1) Education, 2) Social, Family and Community Context, 3) Health and Healthcare 4) Neighborhood & Environment and 5) Economic Stability
The SDH Intervention Menu Tool was developed through the NYS VBP SDH Subcommittee and is available here:https://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/redesign/dsrip/vbp_library/

SDH Interventions can be less costly than traditional medical interventions___
Addressing social determinants can have a significant impact on health outcomes
Why is New York State Focusing on Social Determinants of Health?
Under VBP, VBP contractors aim to realize cost savings while achieving high quality
outcomes
➢ The VBP program design incentivizes VBP contractors to focus on the core
underlying drivers of poor health outcomes—the Social Determinants of Health

Food Security: Outcomes of Medically Tailored Meals (MTM)
• Low-cost/High-impact intervention: Feed someone for half a year by saving one night in a hospital
• Reduce overall healthcare costs by up to 28% (all diagnoses compared to similar patients not on MTM)
• Reduce hospitalizations by up to 50% (all diagnoses compared to similar patients not on MTM)
• Reduce emergency room visits by up to 58% (pre-post MTM intervention)
• Increase the likelihood that patients receiving meals will be discharged to their home, rather than a long term facility (23%) (all diagnoses compared to similar patients not on MTM)
• Increase medication adherence by 50% (pre-post MTM intervention)

VBP Pilot: Prevention Agenda Goals
“The State will monitor progress on the Prevention Agenda targets, including how VBP contractors (aim to) impact these targets. The State intends to introduce a dedicated value based payment arrangement for pilot purposes in 2018 to focus specifically on achieving potentially trailing Prevention Agenda targets through CBO-led community-wide efforts.”(VBP Roadmap, p. 43)
Description: DOH is working on the development of a VBP pilot program aimed at the
prevention agenda.

VBP Pilot: Prevention Agenda GoalsAsthma Prevention Agenda
• 27 - Asthma emergency department visit rate per 10,000 population
• 28 - Asthma emergency department visit rate per 10,000 -Aged 0-4 years
• Pilot: Create a VBP Prevention Agenda Pilot focusing on asthma in the Bronx.
